  1. I see fault in two places. One, employees need to understand it hasn't been cool to sexually harass in the American workplace since the 70s. It can get you fired and your employer sued. Two, it's on the employer to provide the mandatorily attended, annual class on what sexual harassment is, and its consequences, so you can discipline anyone who doesn't get the message going forward.
  2. The pro is that we no longer have to fly slow, noisy props like the Beechcraft 1900s. Hated the prop planes.
  3. I fly these CRJs with Delta's Endeavor Air often - I consider them well built, solid aircraft with good parts. They are the Subaru of airplanes to me as a customer.
  4. For players 29+ in age, no. For players in prime years like he did with Stefon Diggs, yes. To trade up in this draft, yes.
  5. If WRs and TEs don't get open in college against the better opponents on the schedule, they are not going to get open in the NFL. The FO doesn't need to overthink it.
  6. I'm not on the Myles Garrett train. He will be 30 next season. Those reliably consistent prime production years are in the rearview mirror. In comparison, with a Maxx Crosby trade, you're picking up his age 28, 29 and 30 season. I'm not advocating for Crosby over Garrett - I'm generally against spending a lot of money and resources on age 29+ players. I don't think it ever works out in the team's favor for very long with long seasons of regular schedule games and playoff runs.
  7. He overthinks the first round picks. Last year was a great example. There was overwhelming broad consensus that Ladd McConkey had elite route running skills that reliably gets open. Every draft profile says the same thing. Just make the pick. For 2025, I'd like for him to get some gigantic, mean defensive tackles and some athletic corners that understand man and zone defense. I'd love for the defense in 2025 to flow through the Defensive Tackle position.
  8. Yes. His roster spot is valuable. A young player can take that roster spot. I think Von Miller retires. I know he needs just five sacks to get in the Top 20 for all time sacks, but that's very likely another full season of work.
  9. I wouldn't re-sign or sign any player who is 29 or older. Bills need to get out of that business. I wouldn't extend any of the extension-eligible players this year. That's just repeating the Ed Oliver mistake for Rousseau and Benford - paying great money for good production, and you can't do that too many times. As for Cook, there is no reason to extend his contract - the Bills are getting the value right now.
  10. In recent years, I've taken an extended break from the NFL after the Bills have been eliminated. I don't watch any NFL coverage. I treat "Bills season" like I do a holiday - it has a defined beginning and end. It always concludes. I lower the bad food and booze intake, and fill the weekends with projects or other activities. I try to keep my mind focused on spring and 1-2 things I want to accomplish this year. Key is always have something to look forward to. I struggle with the depths of the winter season and finding new hobbies and new things to do now that all of my children are grown, so taking a break from football is part of the life "improvements" plan.
  11. I'd expect the Chiefs to sell out against the run and make the Bills receivers win this game. See something like some antique 4-4 defense that'll take the Bills time to counter. Extremely vulnerable to the pass, but it'll stop the run, even with the sixth lineman. I hope the Bills come into this game with a fresh defense game plan with schemes/packages the Chiefs haven't seen on film. The Chiefs are like the Patriots of old, they are experts at studying film and learning from it.
  12. Steve Biscotti will never fire John Harbaugh. Harbaugh will be in Baltimore until he doesn't want to be.
  13. Besides core players having more experience in those situations, I think the Bills 2024 coordinators adjust faster and more effectively than coordinators in previous seasons. I'd also like to think that stupid hail mary that Aaron Rodgers completed in the first Bills/Jets game this year was instructive on what not to do.
  14. I like that approach.
